Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.
Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

This *entire* episode is all of the evidence anyone should ever need, regardless of their politics, for why it's important to have experienced career officials in key government positions (like U.S. Attorney), rather than partisan cronies (unlawfully) appointed solely to do the President's bidding.
The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

I am not one to run around screaming the sky is falling or that Trump is a dictator.
Not every molehill is a mountain.
But a president publicly directing the Justice Department to target his political enemies (and them doing it) is a BIG deal.

I have gone line by line through HUNDREDS of speeches Donald Trump has given over the past decade.
None was stranger than his speech to America's top military brass today in VA.
It was, at times, absurd. At times scary. At times just baffling

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

Via "One First," my longer take on #SCOTUS's ruling in the birthright citizenship cases.
TL;DR: The short-term significance may well be blunted by the answers to two procedural Qs the Court didn't address. It's the broader implication (the death of the legal process school) that's especially grim:

162. What Does the Birthright Citizenship Ruling Portend?
Friday's ruling in Trump v. CASA will fundamentally alter the relationship between federal courts and other government institutions. How much depends upon three questions the decision left unanswered.

The Trump admin is not challenging the FACTS that CNN reported about the early US intel assessment. Instead, it is objecting to the existence of reporting itself. The admin just wants everyone to repeat Trump's words instead of asking questions and following up.
